WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton's use of a personal email account for State Department business has prompted questions about secrecy and the rules that govern the communications of senior government officials.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The mother of a 12-year-old who had a pellet gun when he was fatally shot by Cleveland police said Tuesday that the city was disrespectful of her son by suggesting he died as a result of his own actions.

A homeless man shot dead by police in Los Angeles was not French, a spokesman for the French foreign ministry said late Tuesday, contradicting a report in the LA Times. "On checking, this man is not a French national," the spokesman told AFP, adding that France had informed the US authorities. LA police chief Charlie Beck said the victim, who police have not identified, tried to grab a gun from an officer who was trying to restrain him on the city's Skid Row homeless district. On Tuesday dozens of people attended a protest outside LA police headquarters to condemn the killing and demand Beck's resignation.
